Fischer Leaves UW‑Oshkosh for Division I Opportunity
After fourteen seasons at the helm of the University of Wisconsin‑Oshkosh women’s basketball program, Brad Fischer is set to depart for a Division I coaching position, marking the end of a storied tenure that reshaped the Titans’ identity.
Fischer finishes his UW‑Oshkosh career with a 315‑80 record, the most wins in program history, and has guided the team to thirteen straight 20‑win seasons — a first for any WIAC basketball coach.
His impact is reflected in six WIAC Coach of the Year awards and three D3hoops.com Region Coach of the Year honors, as well as an average of 23.5 victories per season and eleven appearances in the national tournament.
Beyond the numbers, Fischer transformed the program into a perennial powerhouse in Division III, attracting top talent and elevating the university’s profile, a legacy that the administration says will be deeply missed.
Search for a New Leader
University officials expressed gratitude for his contributions to the program and its student‑athletes, and announced that a national search for the next head coach will commence immediately.
The university will begin a comprehensive nationwide search to identify a successor who can build on the foundation Fischer has laid, ensuring continuity of the program’s competitive edge.
